To the writer, the death Of the talented
young gentleman whose name heads this
notice, il a subject Of more than usual re-
greet Our acquaintance with him began
at Charlotte Hall Academy in 1917 and
was renewed and strengthened in the Leg
islature Of 1885, when during the latter
days Of the session w Were room mates.
Thus, We had every opportunity Of know
ing him well. In all the walks Of life he
was the true gentleman. Mr.. Muschette
was lawyer by profession and though
only % years Of age had already won an
enviable position at the Charles county
bar. Last fall, he was the democratic can
didate for States Attorney and though la
boring under great disadvantages and op-
posed by a most popular gentleman, came
very near winning the prize. Two years
ago, Mr.. Muschette married daughter OF
Mr. Benjamin Stonestreet He ever kept
the "whiteness of his soul;" his life was
blameless and we trust and believe that he
has gone TO "where beyond these voices
there is peace"

a Laborer on the Rochester Road
Leaves $4,000.
BY Writing to ireland His Relatives
Are Found.

In 1884 John Mcmahon was laborer en-
ployed on the Portland & Rochester Rail-
road. He had been connected with the road
in that capacity ever since it became the
Portland & Rochester, and even prior to that
time when it was known as the York and
Cumberland. He had no known relatives
in this country, at least as far as was known
by his acquaintance, and he made his home
with the late Con O'Brien, the popular con-
ductor. During 1884 he died aged about 60
years. He left no will. In fact it was not
supposed he had left any property of any
value, and his few effects were given to
O'Brien. Mr.. O'Brien was killed by rail-
road accident and whatever he left went to
his father, Judge Waterman being his legal
adviser.
Some time after McMahon's death the fact
was revealed that the quiet. plodding rail-
road employee had left relatives in County
Glare, Ireland, and in Massachusetts. AT
least it is so claimed by certain parties who
have petitioned the Judge of Probate that
whatever Mcmahon left may be divided
among them. 1t seems that Alderman Nc
Mahon of this city-who is not a relative
utdIu, III sOiuc way, tuab ehc uVSSdcCu uiu
leave relatives, and that they belonged in
County Glare. Ireland. He explained the
matter to the late Alderman Gallagher who
wrote letter to the parish priest of Truix.
County Clare. asking for information. This
letter developed the statement that John
Mcmahon left brother, Martin, and a
sister, both dead, that Patrick Mcmahon, Of
Coolnalia, County Glare, Michael Mcmahon,
of Bedford. Mass, and Mary Mahoney Of
Concord, Mass, are sons and daughter Of
Martin, and are living; so also are Patrick
Buckley of Limerick, Ireland, and Ann
Burns of Wareham, Mass, son and daughter
of the sister of John; and there is a grand
nephew, named Mccormack, possibly living.
All these heirs have petitioned that what
ever property, after paying his debts and adj
ministration expenses, may fall to them 1t
seems that John Mcmahon left nine thou
sand, two hundred and twenty-six dollars
and one cent Already there has been a
hearing on the subject before Judge Pea
body. and the final hearing will take place

Fire Near the Transfer Station.

The first fire alarm since the new arrange
ment of the boxes was pulled yesterday at
ABB p. m. The alarm was given from box
S12, fire having been discovered in the
two-story wooden building formerly occu-
pied by the Portland Cement Pipe and Stone
Company, situated on the hill near the Bos-
ton & Maine Transfer Station. At the time
of the fire the building was occupied by Mr.
Frank Morgan, engineer for the Portland
Cement Pipe and Stone Company, and fam
ily. The family barely escaped with their
lives and all the furniture was lost. The
inside of the building was burned out and
the roof destroyed, but the homeless family
were kindly cared for by Mr.. Cassidy, who
at once offered them the protection Of his
home until the company can procure per-
manent abode for the unfortunate ones. The
loss to the company will be about $500, and
Mr.. Morgan's loss is not known but will
probably reach several hundred dollars. The
building which contained some machinery,
was insured for small amount. The fire
was extinguished in just an hours time
from the sounding Of the alarm. Mr.. Nor
gan had no Insurance on his effects.
